The report also concluded that 71 percent of deaths occurred prematurely. More than 25 cases of to***co-related deaths were experienced by passive smokers, namely those exposed to people who smoke in their homes or public places.

Roberts said 31 percent of Fiji's population are smokers, and 14 percent are women.

He said smoking has other invisible costs, such as lost labor productivity and absenteeism due to illness. Lost productivity is estimated to be equivalent to US$307 million per year.

Roberts emphasized that to***co use puts pressure on families and communities, as it has economic and emotional impacts on families. Tobacco-related illnesses are felt most by those who care for the affected individual.

According to him, these costs do not only affect the individual who is sick or the person caring for someone who is sick because of to***co. Cumulatively, the various expenses incurred by to***co-related illnesses can have an impact on the country's economic performance. (*)

There is a Serious Problem with Food Estate in West Papua Land - Tribun-papua

TRIBUN-PAPUA.COM, JAYAPURA - There is a communication problem from the government in the national strategic project (PSN) food estate in South Papua, West Papua (Indonesian Occupied Territory), which has drawn criticism from local residents.

This view was conveyed by the Commissioner of the National Human Rights Commission (Komnas HAM), Prabianto Mukti Wibowo in a press conference at the Komnas HAM Office, Jakarta, Wednesday (18/12/2024).

"The root of the main problem is a communication problem or a dialogue problem between the government as the implementer of national strategic projects and the community," he said.

Therefore, Komnas HAM is trying to communicate with related parties, including the central government, provincial government, and residents affected by the project.

Komnas HAM encourages dialogue so that the rights of local indigenous communities can be respected and fulfilled, and the PSN project can continue to be implemented.

"Our hope is that the PSN project can run well in accordance with human rights principles," he added.

Prabianto also said that the potential for conflict between residents and food estate development is very large.

The reason is, the area of ​​the food barn project will use 2 million hectares of land.

"Especially in Merauke, it is indeed a bit vulnerable, because we know that the land needed for the development of food security or food estates is quite extensive," he said.

The government itself has socialized the national food barn project in Merauke, South Papua.

The Commander of the Ministry of Agriculture's Food Security BKO Task Force, Major General TNI Ahmad Rizal Ramdhani, directly visited the people of Wogikel Village and Wanam Village, Wanam District, Merauke on Thursday (12/9/2024).

In front of residents, Ahmad Rizal emphasized that the 1 million hectare rice field program is a national strategic program, and not an investment program from a private project.

"The development of 1 million hectares of rice fields in Merauke is a national strategic program and is not an investment or private project because everything is financed and carried out on behalf of the state," said Ahmad Rizal, as reported by Antara.

Rizal said that the national strategic program of developing 1 million hectares of pure rice fields aims to improve the welfare of the people of the interior of Papua, especially in Merauke, South Papua.

"The national strategic program was carried out in Merauke because the government saw that Merauke has extraordinary potential in its agricultural resources. The land is vast and flat, fertile, the water is also abundant, the weather is also very supportive for rice cultivation throughout the year," he said.

According to Rizal, the 1 million hectare rice paddy printing program in Meraukean has a positive impact on the well-being of the community.

In line with that, adequate road and bridge infrastructure, as well as public and social facilities from village to district level will be built. (*)

US Calls Pastor Zanambani's Murder an Extrajudicial Killing | Jubi Papua

Jayapura, Jubi – On International Anti-Corruption Day and ahead of Human Rights Day, December 9, the United States pushed for accountability for perpetrators of corruption and human rights violations throughout the world.

Can't enter the United States

The United States (US) Department of State has designated 14 individuals, including immediate family members, for engaging in significant corruption and one official for engaging in serious human rights violations, pursuant to Section 7031(c) of the annual Department of State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs Appropriations Act (“Section 7031(c))

(Section 7031(c) of the Department of State's annual Foreign Operations, and Related Programs Act (“Section 7031(c)”), which makes them ineligible for entry into the United States. The Department of State also took further steps to impose visa restrictions on dozens of individuals pursuant to various policies under section 212(a)(3)(C) of the Immigration and Nationality Act.

In addition, the U.S. Department of State has also taken action under this authority to restrict the visas of individuals who have enabled, facilitated, or engaged in significant corruption and their immediate family members.

At the same time, the United States, in close coordination with the United Kingdom, imposed sanctions on nine individuals and 19 entities comprising a global corruption network based in Zimbabwe under the Global Magnitsky sanctions program and three individuals and entities in Yemen and Syria associated with human rights abuses under the Global Magnitsky sanctions program and the Syria sanctions program.

The Killers of Pastor Zanambani

Alpius Hasim Madi, who was once Deputy Commander of the Hitadipa Preparatory Koramil, was listed as one of 14 individuals from several countries affected by the United States' actions.

Alpius, based on information from the wife of the late Pastor Yeremia Zanambani and other witnesses, is suspected of being the perpetrator of the shooting. The same thing was also expressed by the Humanitarian Team for Intan Jaya.

Previously, the Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs at that time, Mahfud Md, when reading the results of the investigation by the Joint Fact-Finding Team (TGPF) formed by the government on October 21, 2020, said that the death of Pastor Yeremia Zanambani was suspected of involving members of the Indonesian military.

Alpius Hasim Madi for his involvement in serious human rights violations, namely the extrajudicial killing of Pastor Yeremia Zanambani in Papua.

However, the legal process for the murder case was slow and closed after the case was transferred to a military court, not a general court. The TNI argued that because the case involved their members, it had to be processed through a military court, insisting on using the Military Court Law made during the New Order era.

Whereas Article 65 paragraph 2 of Law Number 34 of 2004 concerning the Indonesian National Army places the military within the realm of civil justice authority for violations based on the Criminal Code (KUHP). The murder case of Pastor Yeremia should have been tried through a general court.

Pastor Zanambani, died on Saturday (19/9/2020). He died from being shot after feeding his pigs, and was about to return home. The perpetrator of the shooting of Pastor Zanambani is strongly suspected to be Alpius.

The trial for the murder of Pastor Yeremia only started on July 4, 2022 at the Jayapura III-19 Military Court by indicting three Indonesian Army soldiers, namely Captain Saiful Anwar, Sergeant First Class Alex Ading, and Private First Class Moh. Andi Hasan Basri.

At the verdict hearing on June 30, 2023, the three defendants were proven legally and convincingly guilty of committing the crime of murder committed together. However, they were only sentenced to one year in prison and paid court costs of Rp20,000 for Saiful Anwar, Rp15,000 for Alex Ading, and Rp10,000 for Andi Hasan Basri. Alpius Hasim Madi was not even tried in this trial.

In a press release from the United States Department of State, it was stated that based on Article 7031(c), the United States Department of State publicly named Alpius Hasim Madi for his involvement in serious human rights violations, namely the extrajudicial killing of Pastor Yeremia Zanambani in Papua in 2020.

In addition to Alpius Hasim Madi from Indonesia, several individuals involved in corruption and human rights violations in several countries such as North Macedonia, the Marshall Islands, Syria, Russia and Yemen were also named as recipients of sanctions. (*)

South Papua Development and Democracy Care Forum Rejects Pilkada and DOB Lawsuit | Jubi Papua

Jayapura, Jubi – The Student, Youth and Community Forum Concerned about Development and Democracy in South Papua in Jayapura, rejected the lawsuit regarding the Regional Head Election or Pilkada and the New Autonomous Region or DOB.

However, his party expressed support for the DOB resulting from the 2024 South Papua Gubernatorial Election.

Forum Coordinator Rikardus Faroka explained that the Indonesian Democracy Union (Serekat Demokrasi Indonesia) NGO has sued the DOB to the Constitutional Court (MK). The reason is, the formation of the DOB in South Papua does not meet the requirements to become a Province because it only consists of four Regencies, namely Asmat, Boven Digul, Mappi and Merauke Regencies.

"In essence, the presence of the formation of the South Papua Province Autonomous Region is the accumulation and longing of the South Papuan people from all the dynamics of development in Papua Province (parent)," he said at a Press Conference, in Jayapura City, Papua, Wednesday (18/12/2024).

He said, Since the establishment of PPS on November 11, 2022, all government apparatus instruments have been prepared well, government administration and public services continue to be carried out. "So if you want to sue the DOB, why not from the beginning since its formation? Why is it only now being sued, especially in the political situation and regional elections, why only now?," asked Rikardus

Faroka said that the NGO lawsuit, according to him, would have the potential to disrupt the development process and government services in the South Papua region.

Therefore, the Forum of Students, Youth and Communities Concerned about Development and Democracy in South Papua in Jayapura emphasized that it firmly rejects the lawsuit filed by the Indonesian Democratic Union to the Constitutional Court, because the material of the lawsuit is unclear.

"Asking the Constitutional Court to reject all the contents of the NGO's lawsuit because it is considered to be able to create conflict in society and will disrupt the acceleration of development in South Papua. And also asking the Indonesian Democratic Union to withdraw the lawsuit from the Constitutional Court," he said.

In addition, the initiator of the Forum, Marianus Komanik, assessed that the Candidate Pair or Candidate Pair number 1 Derius G. Gebze and Yusak Yaluwo, who also challenged the results of the South Papua gubernatorial election, did not meet the requirements.

Because the candidate pair only got 18.13 percent of the vote with 49,000 votes, while candidate pair number 4 Apolo Safanfo and Paskalis Imadawa got 51.65 percent with 1,339,580 votes.

Meanwhile, Candidate Pair number 2 Nikolaus Kondomo and Hj. Baidin Kurita with Candidate Pair number 3 Romanus Mbaraka and Albertus Muyak who received more votes than Candidate Pair number 1, congratulated Candidate Pair number 4 as the winner in the Pilkada.

"Based on the vote acquisition, candidate pair number 4 Apolo Safanpo and Paskalis Imadawa obtained the most votes with a percentage of 51.65 percent, so based on the regulation of PKPU No. 17 of 2024 concerning voting and counting of votes in the election of Governor, Deputy Governor, Regent and Deputy Regent, Mayor and Deputy Mayor that the Candidate who obtained the most votes with a percentage of 50 + 1 percent is declared the winner of the regional head election," he said.

Therefore, Komanak continued, his party expressed gratitude to all organizers (KPU and Bawaslu) at all levels who had worked responsibly so that the Pilkada/Pilgub could run safely and peacefully.

His party also asked all gubernatorial and deputy gubernatorial candidate pairs to uphold the results of the 2024 South Papua gubernatorial and deputy gubernatorial election.

He appealed to the public to be smart in viewing the lawsuit process at the Constitutional Court regarding the gubernatorial election results so that this lawsuit does not only benefit certain parties.

"We ask the public to maintain public order and security until the inauguration of the Governor and Deputy Governor of South Papua. We also ask the Constitutional Court to be able to wisely respond to the lawsuit for the 2024 South Papua gubernatorial election," Marianus Komanak. (*)
